I'm tampering around right now with trying to get an old song my band once did. It's metal with no lyrics. But in no way shows my true talent. Just a song that I decided I wanted double pedals and guitar to play in unison written in about 5 minutes. So stick around for that.

I'd post some stuff of me playing, but:

(A) I suck.
(B) I can't get my mic on my comp to work......
(C) I can't help it if my computer's a moron and can't record things unless they're like EIGHT INNCHES AWAY. :kroll:

So...... yeah...... I'll do it one of these days! I promise!

Hey guys. Cool thread! Here's a minute from the middle of a recording I made of "Blind Man", the old campfire song. I wanted some instrument solo's to break up the song, so there's 2 guitar solo's a keyboard solo and a drum solo. I'm sorry that the drum solo isn't better, but I only had like a couple takes to get it and pack my stuff down. I played all of the instruments in this clip. If you would like to hear the whole song for free, check it out on www.mp3.com/josh_brahm. Let me know what you think!

Wow. I scared everyone away!:kwhoa:

hah.. no.. i thought it sounded good! I suck at drum solos. I can play with most genres of music, but soloing is not my thing. I can provide you all with a clip of the current band I'm playing with. They're called "vocatio". This song is more popish, but we have some more hardcore stuff (so to speak). ha..

Thanks, man. I'm not very good at drums solos either. I listened to your clip, and it sounded good. How did you guys mic the drums? They came out quite well. Especially the bass drum and
hi-hat. I prefer a sharper crack to the snare, but that might just be your guys particular sound you're going for, so that's cool. It sounds sweet.

Yea.. that's cool.. we have a varying sound.. so I have a piccolo for like our harder stuff and then a normal 14" snare for the poppy stuff.. seems to sound better, IMO.

We just used a bass mic in an open cut bass hole, mics on all the drums, and then a shield with overhead mics for the cymbals.

Were you guys in a studio, or recording it on your own? If you were, then what kind of equipment did you use?

We were in a studio. I've recorded on my own computer through my Soundblaster Audigy here.. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/kbickhart I just used the out from my guitar into my Boss EQ, then I ran that into my computer. I also recorded the electric through my Line6 Pod, and then the djembe that I was using was mic'd with an SM58 overhead.

Hey. I checked out "love" and it sounded pretty good. I especially liked the chromatic breakdown in the instrumental break. Very cool progression. So was the song based on a real life experience? I kind of got that feeling. I mean, it's cool if it was, in fact I wrote most of my piano music, both happy and sad music, when I was depressed about my best friend being so far away from me. If you don't want to get into it, that's okay. I was just curious.

By the way, how old are you?

K-Max · 11-11-2002, 12:37 AM

Yea.. basically I wrote it one night when I came to the realization that this girl, that I have liked for a while now, didn't really even think about me. That no matter what I did, or didn't do.. it never really made her think twice. Kinda disheartening to think about, but you can't make someone like you.. so I figured.. hey, write a song about it! Ha..

Oh.. and I'm 20.
